"Promise you'll remember me?"
You asked that eve
As the dark grew over the twilight
    and the stars peeped from behind
        the cotton-candies of the sky

My reply was curt silence
Born out of the terror of promises un-kept
Yet you began this dance of give-and-take
As the neons lit up the cityscape

Alas it were not to last
And I keep pondering on the past -
Back to that vivid eve,
that promise you asked of me
I realise you never had cause to worry,
nor need for insurance -
With all the scars you leave me with,

How could I ever forget?
